The peace sign originated in the 1950s as a symbol for Nuclear Disarmament and the anti-war movement. It was adopted by 1960s hippie counterculture and was an integral part of the "love and peace" ethos. 16mm (3/4") pewter peace sign and stardust-finish silver-tone wavy disks dangle below turquoise vintage furnace glass. 3-1/2" (9cm) long from the top of the surgical steel ear wires. Available in pierced ear wires or non-pierced clip-on. Gift-ready in either an organza bag (default) or gift box upon request. Packaging styles change with availability.
